Chapter 31: Confrontation

"It's rare that the weather is so good today, and the fifth sister has finally recovered from a serious illness." She deliberately accentuated her tone on "serious illness" and "initial recovery". Then he said to me, "Sister Xiaodong, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

She was a little polite to me, but the inquiring meaning in her eyes was still uncomfortable.

The six princesses are definitely here to find fault.

As soon as she sat down, she stared at the fifth princess, her straight gaze seemed to see her true face under the veil through the thick veil of the fifth princess.

She had never looked at the fifth princess so directly before, when she observed her, her eyes were always mixed with jealousy and yearning at the same time, and the time was very short, she immediately turned away after a glance, and after a while, she would quietly turn back again. It's like looking at a beautiful dress or expensive jewelry that you can't afford.

But that's no longer the case.

This garment, this jewelry, has been ruined and is worthless.

So she looked unscrupulously, sarcastically, probably...... Will do something else.

"The sun is so good today, and there is no wind, what are the fifth sisters still doing with their faces covered?"

The fifth princess snorted, and Xiao Dong could feel the humiliation and ...... that she didn't resort to Fear.

The fifth princess, who has always been smooth, needs to turn around and be afraid of the sixth princess, a sister and opponent who is not outstanding?

It can be seen that for women, no matter what era, appearance is the first, no matter how smart you are, you are congenitally deficient in appearance, and you will inevitably lose your confidence first.

The sixth princess's hand reached over and passed over with the veil covering the face of the fifth princess.

That's excessive.

The fifth princess turned her head suddenly, her eyes were like a sword, and the sixth princess was instinctively stunned, and her hands froze there.

"Sixth sister, I treat you as a sister, and you must also know that I am your sister. This is in Changchun Palace, if you are rude to me, it is very convenient for us to reason and testify in front of the Queen Mother! ”

The sixth princess retracted her hand and sat down: "I can't imagine that the fifth sister used to be such a clever person, but now she can only keep saying that the queen mother will make the decision for you." She rolled her eyes and laughed again: "By the way, my sister shouldn't be rude to my sister, after all, my sister has been in the palace for a short time." After all, we are sisters, no matter whether my sister wants to marry out of the palace, or go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to worship the Buddha quietly, our sisters can't see each other every day and talk like before. My sister is really reluctant to sister. ”

Don't. Whoever has such a sister would love to be as far away as possible.

Almost all the women in the palace learned to fight without a teacher. The women are fighting, and the girls are also fighting, comparing each other and stepping on each other - this competition without gunpowder has no warmth, it is simply a life-and-death fight.

The fifth princess turned a deaf ear to her vicious words, as if she hadn't heard them.

Hitting the cotton with her fist could not make the sixth princess angry, but she couldn't do it, and it seemed that the fifth princess didn't hurt or itch when she spoke, so she turned to Xiao Dong and said, "Sister Xiaodong, guess it, is our fifth sister going to get married or become a monk?" ”

Why are you her?

Xiao Dongpi didn't smile: "Is the sixth sister also here to ask the Queen Mother for peace?" Have you ever met a concubine? ”

The sixth princess was stunned, and her face was uncertain: "The concubine is also here?" ”

"Yes, I came with the fifth sister, and I am talking with the Queen Mother inside."

For Ming Guifei, the fifth princess is still afraid.

Xiao Dong didn't want to help the fifth princess, but he didn't want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the two sisters.

"Sister Cailan."

The palace man at the bottom of the pavilion answered: "What does the county lord command?" ”

Xiao Dong stood up and stroked the hem of his skirt: "The two sisters chatted slowly, and I will leave first." ”

The fifth princess stood up with a sigh: "I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Dong glanced at her, the fifth princess still didn't give up?

But she really doesn't have any special elixir to beautify and remove scars.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Dong found that the sixth princess had actually followed!

By the way, being disturbed by the sixth princess, Xiao Dong almost ignored the last words of the fifth princess.

She said she knew who was going to kill Xiaodong.

How would she know?

Who the hell is it?

Of course, it's also possible that she was talking casually.

Xiao Dong was suspicious in her heart, but she was not as impulsive or credulous as before.

She may never learn to calculate, and she will never be able to tell which of the other party's words is deception.

But she has to learn to protect herself and her family.

Don't be gullible, that's the first tip.

Cai Lan followed them step by step, and he had to stay forever.

Xiao Dong feels that she is not smart enough, she is not like these people, she has been rolling in intrigue and power fighting since she was a child, honed her heart and heart is hard and calculating, she has the memories of her previous life, feelings, and temperament - maybe in another ten or twenty years, she will not become the same person as them.

When they went back, Concubine Ming's eyes were red, and the Empress Dowager Shengci was still indifferent. After greeting the Queen Mother, the sixth princess sat aside, and there was no sharpness and ferocity that she had just outside.

Xiao Dong could sense that the Empress Dowager Shengci was in a bad mood, extremely bad.

Xiao Dong has been with her for all these years and already knows her very well. The Empress Dowager Shengci is usually very indifferent to people, but at that time she was calm and natural, but now she sits up straight, her lips slightly pursed.

Xiao Dong didn't know what Concubine Ming said to make the Empress Dowager Shengci so angry.

In her impression, the Empress Dowager would never seem to be angry about anything. She has passed too long, suppressing herself, not rejoicing or being angry with anyone or anything, she does not resent when the Empress Dowager Shotoku is there, and she does not show off when the Empress Dowager Shotoku falls.

"Little Winter." The Empress Dowager Shengci beckoned to her.

Xiao Dong stood up and walked to the Empress Dowager Shengci.

"Come with me."

There was a chariot outside, and the Empress Dowager Shengci asked Xiao Dong to sit beside her.

Xiao Dong's heart was full of questions, but she didn't say anything.

Riding through the long palace alley, the steps of the palace people sounded regular and consistent. The sky looked blue and empty, and he passed through Yong'an Gate, turned to the right, and finally stopped outside the Zichen Palace.

The Empress Dowager Shengci walked straight in with my hand, and the guards of the palace gave way to avoid and bow down. The Empress Dowager Shengci walked extremely fast, and Xiao Dong seemed to notice her tall for the first time, and she had to trot to keep up with her.

The guards standing outside the main hall were stunned when they saw them, they may not have seen the Empress Dowager Shengci, but they definitely knew the Empress Dowager's clothes. Just when they were too late to stop their salute, the Empress Dowager Shengci had already pulled Xiaodong into the main hall.

Xiao Dong saw the main hall of the former dynasty for the first time.

For a moment, she suddenly remembered what had happened. She and Yao Jinfeng and Shen Qiang huddled together on a rainy night and whispered, talking about the three major halls, with glazed tiles on the top and gold bricks on the ground. At that time, Xiaodong still thought that he probably wouldn't have a chance to see what the bricks here were like in his life.

But I didn't expect the Empress Dowager Shengci to bring her here.

Compared with the palaces in the harem, the Zichen Hall is not as delicate and beautiful. It was magnificent and empty, Xiao Dong wanted to look up to see how high the dome above was, but the hall was not so bright, and she couldn't tell the specific height, the patterns painted on the caisson above were complicated, and Xiao Dong could only see vague color tiles.

"The Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, and the people in the hall retreated silently.

Xiao Dong knew that what they were going to talk about must be related to her.

"The assassin of the Shangyuan Festival, has the emperor checked any eyebrows?"

The Emperor whispered a command, and a man emerged from the shadows behind the curtain.

It's the high-ranking female officer.

She was wearing a purple round-necked robe and a soft-winged gauze hat, her appearance was dignified and beautiful, and her demeanor was calm and calm.

"County Lord, please come with me."

The Emperor didn't want me to hear what they said.

The Empress Dowager did not let go of my hand.

"How does the emperor plan to find the person behind the scenes. If you find a word, what should you do with that person? ”

Well, I'm always worried about the chapter name...... Maybe you get used to it after suffering and suffering.
